Rafiatu clinched gold in the final of the women’s 59kg weightlifting event after lifting 90kg at the snatch category, setting a new Commonwealth Games record.

 

The 25-year-old Nigerian star lifted 110kg at the first attempt, then at the second attempt lifted 115kg to set the new Games record, and then on the third attempt set another Commonwealth Games World Record, lifting 116kg.
A combined 206kg is a new Commonwealth Games Record in the women’s 59kg weightlifting event.
